Lions are members of community service clubs, dedicated
to the idea that the men and women who live in a
community are in the best position to know who needs help
and why.
More than 44,000 strong, these local clubs are part of
the world's largest such organization, with 1.4 million
members serving in more than 185 countries and areas.
The association is both non-political and non-sectarian.
Founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA in 1917 by insurance
agent Melvin Jones and others, Lions Clubs International
has ever since offered business and professional people a
way of sharing their success by helping those less
fortunate than themselves.
The association became international when a club was
formed in Canada in 1920.
A highlight of its early history was a speech at the 1925
convention,
when the legendary Helen Keller
Challenged the Lions to become
"Knights of the blind in the crusade against
darkness."
They responded, and Lions are now best known for their
sight-related programs, including SightFirst, the world's
largest blindness prevention program.
